Truth be told, we really thought all the leaks and rumors ahead of
Apple’s big iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus unveiling on Wednesday would take
most of the fun out of the event. While there certainly weren’t as many
surprises as Apple would have liked, fans are still buzzing like crazy
following all the announcements the company made. The stars of the show
were obviously the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus themselves, and they’re
destined to become the best-selling smartphones on the planet shortly
after they launch next week on Friday, September 16th.
Are Apple’s next-generation iPhones really that impressive?
They might look a great deal like last year’s iPhone models, but they
pack quite a punch under the hood. In this post, we’ll take a look at
all the best features Apple baked into the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7
Plus.

Design

Apple’s next-generation iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus might look like
last year’s model from afar, but there are a number of improvements to
the design. For one, the antennas have been redesigned to make them look
much less offensive. Also, the camera bump is now carved out of the
same aluminum as the rest of the housing for a more seamless look and
feel.

Power

Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be powered by a new A10 Fusion SoC.
The A10 is a 64-bit quad-core chipset, including two high-performance
cores that run 40% faster than the A9 chip, and two high-efficiency
cores with one-fifth as much power for better battery life when you
don’t need all that power.
There’s also a new six-core GPU that is 50% faster than the A9. It
also consumes only two-thirds as much power as last year’s A9.
Apple says the new A10 Fusion is the most powerful chip that has ever been in a smartphone.

Display

Apple’s updated Retina HD displays are 25% brighter than the screens
on last year’s iPhones. They still support 3D Touch, of course, as well
as enhanced color management.

Storage

That’s right folks, the storage has been doubled. The base model will
now include 32GB of storage, the mid-tier model has 128GB and the top
tier packs 256GB of storage.

Battery Life

Apple says the iPhone 7 will last at least 2 more hours of battery
during daily usage compared to the 6s, and the 7 Plus will offer at
least 1 more hour compared to the 6s Plus.

iPhone 7 camera

Apple’s iPhone 7 camera has been completely revamped. Here are the highlights:

Optical image stabilization

f/1.8

6-element lens

60% faster and 30% more energy-efficient 12-megapixel sensor

Quad-LED True Tone flash

New image signal processor with twice the throughput of Apple’s earlier ISP

7-megapixel front-facing camera

iPhone 7 Plus camera

Apple’s new dual-lens camera on the iPhone 7 Plus is even better. It
features a new zoom feature that makes use of not one but two
12-megapixel rear cameras — one with a wide-angle 28mm lens and one 56mm
telephoto lens. As a result, the 7 Plus provides a zoom feature that is
hardware zoom up to 2x, and software zoom up to 10x.
Additionally, the new iPhone 7 Plus dual camera setup has a new
feature that creates a bokeh effect enabled by the dual-lens setup. It
applies a blur effect to the background in photos that mirrors photos
taken on a DSLR camera. The depth effect on the new iPhone 7 Plus can be
enabled or disabled in the camera app, and the phone even provides a
live preview of the effect on your screen before you take a photo.
The bokeh effect won’t be available at launch, interestingly. Instead, it will come in a software update later this year.

New home button

The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have an updated home button that,
as we expected, has been updated with Force Touch support and a new
Taptic engine.

New colors

Apple will keep silver, gold and rose gold around, but space gray is
now gone. Instead, there will be a new “black” color that looks like a
darker space gray, and a high-gloss “jet black” color that’s unlike
anything we’ve seen on an aluminum smartphone. Jet Black will only be
available on the 128GB and 256GB versions of both new iPhone model.

Water and dust-resistance

That’s right Apple fans, your new iPhones can take a swim and come
out just fine. Apple says the new iPhones have an IP67 rating.

Audio

Hasta la vista, headphone jack — love it or hate it, there’s no 3.5mm
audio port on the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. There are stereo speakers on the
new models though, and they’re 50% louder than the old speaker on
Apple’s iPhones.
Lightning EarPods replace the old models. There will also be a Lightning to mini photo adapter included in the box.
Apple says the analog headphone jack has been removed for two main reasons:

Lightning is a better connector for audio

It frees up space for other components

New wireless tech

Apple’s new W1 chip offers a new type of wireless technology that
will be available across Apple devices. To pair one device with another,
you simply place them near each other.
For example, when you open the charging case of a new pair of AirPods
wireless earbuds, you’ll see a dialog box appear on your iPhone 7. Tap
to confirm and you’re done — no pairing, no hassle. Apple Watch will
also connect using Apple’s new wireless tech.
New Beats headphones will also support the new W1 chip.

Oleophobic coating

Huh?
This one is sort of tongue in cheek so it’s not included in our count
of 12 features, but holy moly will it be nice to have an oleophobic
coating on my iPhone screen again. The one on my iPhone 6s lasted a pathetic four months… let’s hope some improvements have been made on the new models.
—
Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be made available for
preorder beginning this Friday, September 9th. They will then launch on
September 16th starting at $649 for a 32GB iPhone 7 or $749 for a 32GB
iPhone 7 Plus. That’s right, storage has doubled for each tier, now
topping out at 256GB.
